Description

This small Long Beach hole-in-the-wall serves generous, made-to-order Mexican fare—burritos, tacos, enchiladas and albóndigas—with wallet-friendly prices, Taco specials and draft beer. Friendly, welcoming staff, complimentary chips and salsa, a TV for games, clean restrooms and street parking make it a convenient, family- and budget-friendly stop. Many praise fresh salsas and standout tacos, though a few diners note occasional inconsistencies with carne asada, refried beans and wing quality.

While some items could be priced a bit more economically, the overall affordability is commendable. Everything is made to order, and the menu also includes burgers, fries, and sandwiches. The staff is friendly and creates a welcoming atmosphere. I appreciate that they have a clean bathroom for handwashing and keep a large container of hand sanitizer readily available on the counter. There is street parking available, and if you live nearby, it's easy to walk over. I tried a fish burrito along with chips and salsa, and everything tasted quite good. I'm eager to return and explore more of the menu. I would rate my experience at 3.5 stars.

Without a doubt, the best hard shell tacos I've ever had—anywhere, anytime. Taco Tuesday is fantastic, and the beer is extremely affordable. The salsa is consistently fresh and delicious. The service is incredibly friendly. I love you, Merced's!

I decided to check out this restaurant while waiting for my dog at the vet, and it was a lucky coincidence that it was Taco Tuesday! They had a fantastic special with tacos for just $1.50 all day long. I tried the chicken, al pastor, and carne asada tacos. The al pastor was definitely my favorite, while the carne asada was just average. All in all, Merced did a great job providing a quick and satisfying meal!

Great food, great prices, and great serving sizes! I'm vegetarian and they have a lot of options to eat there, my favorite item is the potato tacos though : Definitely recommend going, especially if you live locally and can walk up to the window to pick up and pay

This place is a staple. Even when my mother moved out of the area, she still returns for Merced's. Only bummer, since the pandemic, they remain take out only! Miss sitting at a booth, but still always order a burrito on the way to the airport... makes everyone jealous!
